We compared two Logitech wireless mice that share an 8K DPI sensor and Quiet Clicks but suit different desks: the full-size MX Master 3S and the compact MX Anywhere 3S.
What we looked at
Size and ergonomics, sensor and scrolling, connectivity, stated battery life, what is included, and price.
The verdict
If you want an ergonomic full-size mouse with thumb controls, FLOW across computers and a Logi Bolt receiver included, the MX Master 3S is the desk pick, though it costs more on these listings. If you'd rather spend less on a compact mouse with a stated 70-day battery and quick charging for travel, the MX Anywhere 3S is the better fit.
A full-size ergonomic mouse with thumb controls, FLOW and an included Logi Bolt receiver, but it costs more and is not a compact travel mouse.
A compact mouse with a stated 70-day battery and quick charging at a lower price, but no receiver included and no thumb controls.
